Specifying a Dump Source

Specify any one of the following as an override source:

System dumps
System storage
Partitioned data set (PDS) directories
Members of PDSs
Sequential data sets
VSAM objects

Figure 1 shows that the current default dump source is data set IPCSU1.PRB00075.SVCDUMP. This dump source, however, will not be processed. Instead, dump data set D83DUMP.DUMPC.PB00465 will be processed because the user, in this example, supplied an overriding dump source.

Once an overriding dump source is entered, IPCS retains that dump source until the overriding dump source is changed on this panel or the Browse option is exited or ended. The override defaults do not change the SETDEF-defined defaults.

Note: Because the override defaults do not change the SETDEF-defined current defaults, subcommands entered in the Browse option through the IPCS primary command will display information about the current default source and not about the override default source.
